I think it's a different world, than when the Newton came out. With it's focus on an intimate relationship with media, I think it's got a market. I mean, I've overheard one person say she bought a mac to make it easier to work with her iPhone, and another person who's husband bought her a Kindle to read the newspaper because she's really "green" and doesn't like to waste paper. I do think always online is critical though to really have a game changer. So, we'll see how that works out. David Andy,

I guess we’ll have to see. I think it’s a different world, than when the Newton came out. With it’s focus on an intimate relationship with media, I think it’s got a market. I mean, I’ve overheard one person say she bought a mac to make it easier to work with her iPhone, and another person who’s husband bought her a Kindle to read the newspaper because she’s really “green” and doesn’t like to waste paper.

I do think always online is critical though to really have a game changer. So, we’ll see how that works out.

I predict the iPad will bomb. I think Apple does well when they create a better design for poorly designed products in fragmented market spaces. Think MP3, cell phones, early PCs. They do poorly when they try and innovate new products. Think Newton, Lisa, NeXT etc. I think this is an interesting product, that like the Newton, will focus people's attention in this area and lead to better products, but I think the main beneficiaries will be Kindle, NexusOne and the iPhone. Cool? Yes. Profitable? No. Bust? Most likely. Interesting. I predict the iPad will bomb.
